Ingredients
Cakes
- 200 g milk chocolate Chopped, or use milk chocolate morsels.
- 80 g plain cornflakes Fresh and crisp; not frosted.
Equipment
- Microwave-safe mixing bowl
- Kitchen scale
- Spatula
- 12-cup muffin pan and paper cases
Instructions
Melt and mix
- Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper cases. Measure the cornflakes into a large dry bowl. Put the chocolate in a separate dry microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave the chocolate for 30 seconds, then stir thoroughly. Continue in 10–15-second bursts, stirring each time, until just smooth. Stop heating when small remaining pieces melt as you stir. The bowl may be hot; adults should handle this step.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the cornflakes. Fold gently with a spatula, lifting from the bottom until the flakes are evenly coated without crushing them.
Portion and set
- Divide the mixture among the 12 cases in small mounds, using two spoons. Nudge loose flakes together lightly without packing the cakes tightly.
- Refrigerate for about 1 hour, or until the chocolate is firm and each cake lifts from its paper. Chilling time varies with the chocolate and refrigerator.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and enjoy within 3 days for best texture. Let a chilled portion stand briefly before eating if the chocolate is very firm.

Notes
Nutrition is an estimate per one of 12 small cakes, using 200 g Nestlé Toll House milk chocolate morsels (70 kcal per 14 g) and 80 g Kellogg’s Corn Flakes (150 kcal per 42 g), divided by 12. Label rounding and brands affect the figures. Protein is not calculated precisely because the chocolate label reports less than 1 g per serving.
Planning cost basis for quantities used: chocolate about USD $2.50–4 and cereal $0.50–1. The total is an ingredient allowance, not a current store quote; paper cases are excluded.
